Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Prisoner's Trace

"Whoop, whoop......"

Holding a weapon that was not too heavy, Wu Ye trotted through the huge mansion, and all the way he saw was the charcoal-grilled rabbit made by Meihong, and he finally came to the exit with the wailing "charcoal", that is, the location of the gate that was kicked by Meihong.

Strange things have happened, the gate that should have been kicked by Mei Hong is actually standing there intact, and it is closed.

Wu Ye was puzzled for a while, and unconsciously stepped forward and pulled it with his hand, but the door was like being locked from the outside, and it couldn't be opened.

After several attempts, Takeya actually found that he couldn't even open the door, and paused in place for a while, and Takeya raised the firearm he got from Suzuzen and pulled the trigger on the door.

The sound of a machine gun came out of his hand, and then he hit the door with a strange "ding-ding" sound.

I saw that all the bullets shot out of the barrel seemed to hit the iron plate, and after making a crisp sound, they were shot in all directions.

Stunned to look at the wooden door in front of him that couldn't even be pierced by bullets, Wu Ye completely lost his temper.

Just as he was squatting in front of the door at a loss, thinking about whether to go back and see how Meihong was fighting, in the other direction of Kaguya's room, a colorful spiritual light burst out and shot straight into the sky.

"That's, Reimu's spell card?"

This familiar scene saw Takeya stunned for a moment, could it be that Reimu and Marisa were done fighting and finally got down to business?

With such doubts, Wu Ye picked up his weapon and ran in the direction of the seven-colored pillar of light.

......

"Hey, Reimu, you guy stop me! What does it mean to be a real prisoner! ”

Riding a broomstick, Marisa, who was following closely behind the red and white witch, shouted in a depressed voice.

Just now, when she was fighting with Reimeng, a sudden flash of fire in the bamboo forest soared into the sky, attracting the attention of the four of them.

Then, in the next second, Reimu and Yakumo Zi glanced at each other, and then tacitly agreed not to say anything more to themselves, and flew straight in the direction of the firelight.

Now even Marisa understands that she probably misunderstood something, and for a moment she only felt that her heart was blocked, not only because she had done bad things with good intentions again, but also because she complained that Reimu didn't explain it well.

On the way, because Marisa was overwhelmed with questions, Reimu had no choice but to give a simple explanation.

Although the process was tortuous, no matter what, in short, they were now unified and ready to go straight to the prisoner's lair.

The sudden flash of fire in the bamboo forest was their clue, and everyone flew towards the sky-high flames, and at the fastest speed, they made a major discovery in just a moment.

First of all, the huge mansion hidden in the bamboo forest, which has never even been seen by Yakumo Murasaki, is obviously located there quietly, but in the past thousand years, no one has discovered its existence.

And then there's -

"Huh?"

Turning back like an electrocardiogram, Marisa found that Alice, who had come with her, had disappeared, and she didn't even know where to go with Yakumo.

Where she didn't see, a hidden gap was quietly closing, and in it, the blonde puppet girl was struggling.

"Yakumo Murasaki, what are you doing!"

I don't know what strange tricks have been tricked, Alice, who was forcibly pulled into the gap, only felt that she couldn't do it all over, and it was extremely difficult to manipulate even a puppet.

"Shhhh

It didn't seem to be funny to make a silent gesture to Alice, and Yakumo's expression was rarely serious.

"We seem to have found a familiar aura."

"Familiar breath?"

Alice didn't know what kind of medicine was being sold in Yakumo's purple gourd land, but she had already fallen into the hands of the other party at the moment, and whether she believed it or not, she could only follow her.

"It's a youkai? Or is it something else? ”

"I don't know."

Shaking her head solemnly, Yakumo quietly swiped a gap in front of her to observe the movements of Marisa and Reimu, and explained as if talking to herself:

"But if it's really that guy, this mutation may not be so simple."

“......”

Surprised by the existence of a guy who was so cautious even by Yakumo, Alice followed her and looked into the gap that reflected the outside scene.

At this time, Reimu outside the gap seemed to sense Yakumo's disappearance and stopped moving forward in confusion.

"Hey, Marisa."

Shouting the only remaining black and white magician behind him, Reimu frowned and asked:

"Have you seen where Purple went?"

"No, by the way, Reimu, did you see where Alice went?"

“...... No. ”

Reimu, who learned that Alice also "disappeared", completely realized that something was wrong here, and if it was just the disappearance of Yakumo Purple, it would be understandable, after all, it was a non-serious youkai, but it was too strange that even Alice was gone.

"Reimu, I think something is a little weird."

"I also need to say that there is an abnormal atmosphere in this place itself."

As strong as Reimu, it is natural to see at a glance the strange aura carried by the mansion itself in front of it, whether it is an enchantment as strong as iron, or the entire space is frozen in time, here you can actually feel a sense of "eternal" disobedience.

Instead of immediately flying towards the place where the fire was at its peak, Reimu Reality fell in front of the entrance, only to see that the ground was full of burned rabbit demons, and the "corpses" on the ground lined up in a path, pointing into the distance.

"Come over and have a look......?"

Reimu lowered her head and muttered, and as she was thinking, she suddenly heard Marisa shouting in her ear:

"Get out of the way! Reimu! ”

"Huh?!"

Almost as soon as Marisa's warning came out, Reimu's nerves tensed to the limit, and she rolled to the left with her instinct alone.

And in the next second, an arrow fell from the place where Reimu was originally located.

The strange thing is that the arrow only sank into the ground with its head, and there was not even a crack on the ground, but Reimu felt a chill behind her back, and she always felt that if this "soft" arrow hit her, it would definitely be the result of serious injury.

"Hey, who's it?"

The taste of "escaping death" was definitely not pleasant, and Reimu angrily looked up at the sky from the angle of the arrow, where a woman in a Taoist robe was standing.

Gray eyes and white hair, half-blue and half-red robes painted with constellation patterns, and the hat on his head looks a little strange to Reimu, but if Wu is here, he will definitely recognize it as a nurse's hat at a glance.

The mysterious woman was holding a pair of bows and arrows in her hand, and although she hadn't figured anything out yet, one thing was clear, and that was that this guy was the one who had attacked her just now.

"Hey."

Reimu is not such a good-tempered person, and she was greeted with a smile when she was sneak attacked, and she directly took out the talisman and the imperial coin, and pointed at the mysterious woman in the sky.

"Is that you? The prisoner who started the mutation! ”

“......”

The mysterious man in the air didn't say a word, just glanced at Reimu faintly, and then turned and flew off into the distance.

"Hey! Hold it! ”

The clue in her hand was naturally impossible for Reimu to watch her fly away, she chased after her without saying a word, and Marisa on the side did not hesitate and followed Reimu over.

It's just that the other party is not trying to run away as they imagined, but is only guiding them away from the rabbit group on the ground that has lost their resistance.

Flying to a corner of the house, the mysterious woman landed steadily on the ground, and then paced into the front room, followed by Reimu and Marisa, who followed her, did not lag behind, and chased her into the room, but the moment they stepped into it, the world seemed to be turned upside down, and an unbearable feeling of dizziness came.

After settling down, Reimu and Marisa were shocked to find that the original tea utensils, paintings, and tatami mats in the room had all disappeared, and the surrounding sky was like a dark night sky, with only the distant stars flickering and fainting.

"It should be fine when you get here."

At this time, the mysterious woman who was talking to herself slowly turned around and showed a faint smile in front of the two.

"Welcome, people of the earth."
